A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

There are few situations in life where I’m NOT intimidated. Even if I know that I’m fully able, from my work experience, there’ll always be someone else who has the paperwork to say they’re more “qualified”. But in today’s chapter, yet again, the Creator God appears to be opposite to this world and our ways, when qualifying people for the impossible.

Instead of passing Moses off as a fugitive murderer[a] who can’t make a speech without fumbling [v10], his Maker pushes passed all his fears and encourages Moses in his weakness. Based on who our Maker is, and HIS qualifications, we’re simply to have Faith in Action. [v11] The God who calls Himself “I Am” said: “I Am with you…” – both helping and teaching. [v12,15] That same God who is “I AM” today – just as He has always been – is with me too. In surrendering myself to the One who resides within the supernatural, I become qualified for the impossible.[b]

I will praise You Lord, because You counsel me. Even at night Your Holy Spirit instructs me. [Psalm 16:7]
